Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

*

He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 'wolves' inside us all.

*

"One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy,sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

*

"The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

*

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

*

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
